Friday and Smith are working the Juvenile Division when something very unusual happens....a young addict arrives and turns himself in to them. He's a heroin addict and knows this is the best way to get treatment. The investigation includes contacting the young man's mother as well as trying to get him to talk about his drug suppliers. When it comes to the mother, she's an odd one...and you can see indications why the guy used drugs after they talk with her. And, as far as naming suppliers go, he really doesn't want to be a snitch.
Overall a very good episode about drug abuse and treatment. My wife felt it was a tad preachy but I thought it not nearly as preachy as some of the drug episodes of the later 1960s "Dragnet". Well worth seeing. Interesting and with some nice performances.
